The load growth of an average data center is projected to double or triple in the next three years, accelerating the need for reliable and scalable electrical infrastructure. ABB Installation Products developed new solutions to integrate easily and support growing demand for data capacity and electrical reliability, helping save labor and space. ABB’s new Color-Keyed® aluminum narrow-tongue, long-barrel, two-hole lugs help maximize uptime with a lightweight, economical alternative to traditional copper lugs. To further save time and space, ABB’s T&B Liquidtight Systems® cable entry plates streamline cable organization and routing while maintaining ingress protection. ABB’s Ocal® PVC-coated to PVC conduit adapters simplify transitioning between PVC-coated and PVC conduits.
Larger loads. Less weight, space and time
As data centers manage larger loads, their infrastructure requires complex wiring and hundreds to thousands of electrical lugs, depending on size. ABB’s Color-Keyed aluminum narrow-tongue, long-barrel, two-hole lugs weigh less than copper and eliminate post-installation crimping with pre-terminated wire connections, reducing space, weight, labor and operating costs. The narrow-tongue design facilitates the termination of larger gauge wires in tight spaces, while the chamfered barrel design minimizes wire hang-ups and maximizes crimping efficiency. Dual-rated for aluminum and copper conductors, just one lug accommodates a wide range of cable sizes.
A pioneer in compression connectors for nearly 70 years, ABB’s Color-Keyed line is an industry-leading color-coding system used by installers around the world for easy, reliable and precise installations.
